h1. Rack Power OFF procedures for planned power outages

*%{color:red}@Before a power-outage occurs@%*: alert Cryo engineers of planned MicroBooNE outages 1 week in advance.

*Who does this:* In the normal mode of operation, it is expected that ONLY sub-system experts (most probably on-call experts) will do the power off for their respective sub-systems. It is only in their absence and upon approval from the run coordinator that others will be allowed to do this.

*Step 0:* Go on the platform, with all requirements: Closed-toed shoes, and most importantly, Two-person rule!

h2. %{color:green}@Readout Electronics Racks Power-Off/On Procedure:@%

*Step 1:* Make sure the software DAQ/read-out processes are not running. In other words, this means that the platform power off procedure should ONLY be done AFTER the DAQ/read-out processes are brought down gracefully by the DAQ experts. Confirm from the On-call DAQ expert and the uB operator on shift that this is the case before proceeding.

*%{color:red}@Remember, the racks should be powered off in the following order, and following indicated steps.@%*

*Side note:* For reference, we are following the reverse of the prescription as written in

 http://microboone-docdb.fnal.gov:8080/cgi-bin/RetrieveFile?docid=3825&filename=TPC-R1_Power-up.pdf&version=10

h2. %{color:green}@ MuCS (Muon Counter System) rack Power-Off/On procedure:@%

h2. Powering down the system

To power off the MuCS rack the following steps should be followed by a MuCS expert:

# Set switches on the HV PS to "off" (NOT the "kill") to ramp down the HV for the PMTs (four red switches on front). 

# Switch off the LV power supply by pressing (1)the output button (2)On/off button in the LV power supply.

# Turn off Nim rack

# Turn off Nim fan

# Shut down the laptop.

# Open rear door and flip the power switch on the RPS to the off position (looking from the back of the rack it's at the top right).

# Power off the SurgeX by flipping the switch on the front of the rack.

h2. Powering on the system

To power on the MuCS rack the following steps should be followed by a MuCS expert:

# Power on the SurgeX.

# Open rear door and power on the RPS.

# Power on the laptop. Make sure it boots and logs into the the dcdaq account. Should do so automatically, if not log into that account.  This will start a vnc server so that experts can access the machine remotely.

# Turn on the LV. This required both turning on the LV PS and turning on the LV power output. There is a light on the LV PS to indicate if LV is on as well as three LEDs on the front banana plugs to indicate that the LV is on.

# Once the LV is confirmed to be on (LED lights are on) then the HV can be turned on by setting the switches on the HV supply to the "on" (up) position.

# After a reset, you should take a test run (use Ghost mode) to ensure that triggers are coming out unprescaled (top counter) and prescaled (bottom counter). Often the prescaled triggers do not come through and the prescaler has to be reset. To reset the prescaler (second trigger module from left, labeled "Trigger Divider"), set the top counter to 000 and then back to 100 (the nominal prescale factor for MuCS triggers).

*Make an e-log entry after successfully turning off/ on the system.*

+%{color:red}NOTE: The following documentation is kept for historic reasons only. Do not turn the following systems back on.

h2. %{color:green}@Purity Monitor (PM01, PM02, PM03) rack Power-Off/On procedure:@%

+*%{color:red}NOTE: Currently the Purity Monitor is NOT Being Used. Do not power back up these racks.%*+

h3. Power-off

# Locate the three racks, which are on the platform. They are PM-R1, PM-R2, and PM-R3.

# Turn off the NIM bins in each rack by moving the switch labeled "ON/OFF" to "OFF". If the NIM bin’s power light goes off, you were successful in turning the NIM bin off. If the light stays on, try moving the switch once more.

# Each rack has a Windows server in it. Turn off the PCs by holding down their power buttons (yes, I know). This is the most secure way to turn off the Windows PCs as it does not involve actually logging into the system.

# Turn off the Slow Controls box by flipping the switch on its front panel to the OFF position. 

# Go to the back of the rack and turn off the RPS box using the switch located on its back. 

# The rack can now be powered-off without causing harm. On the Surge-X power strips located in the top of each rack, press down on the "OFF" portion of the "ON/OFF" button.

Once done, let the uB operator on shift know that the power-off is done and make an e-log entry that the rack has been successfully powered off.

h3. Power-on

# Locate the three racks, which are on the platform. They are PM-R1, PM-R2, and PM-R3.

# Give the rack electricity by pressing down on the "ON" portion of the "ON/OFF" button on the Surge-X power strip. 

# Go to the back of the rack and turn on the RPS box using the switch located on its back. 

# Turn on the Slow Controls box by flipping the switch on its front panel to the ON position. 

# Turn on the NIM bins in each rack.  This is accomplished by doing the opposite of the turn off procedure. Move the "ON/OFF" switch to the "ON" position to turn on the NIM bin.

# Each rack has a Windows server in it. Turn on the PCs by pressing down their power buttons. Allow the disk check to proceed since we turned off the PC in such a hard fashion as described above.

# The flash-lamps in PM-R1 and PM-R2 will need to be set to run again. To do this, take the clear LEXAN™ sheet off of the front of the rack. You’ll need a flathead screwdriver to accomplish this (if you can fit your hand in underneath the LEXAN™ sheet to get to the power supply panel, do that instead). Once that has been removed, open up the brass screen on the front of the Faraday cage. There are two screws for this on the top edge of the brass screen. The front of the flash-lamp power-supply will now be visible. Look for the white, square button labeled "RUN". Press that button. You should see a little, red light next to it. That means your pressing of the button was successful and you wont need to run off with the circus. 

# If the Windows servers are back online, call the purity monitor expert on call to turn the purity monitor DAQ on. They will do it remotely.

h3. Power-on issues

There are two potential issues with turning the purity monitors back on. You will be notified and walked through the procedures below by the purity monitor expert if they are needed. 

Firstly, the network on the Windows servers sometimes does not come back after startup. The purity monitor expert on call will confirm if this has happened. To fix this, simply unplug the network cable on the back of the server, wait 10 seconds (I suppose it should be a minute to conform to standard troubleshooting procedures, but we're not that patient), and plug it back in. 

Secondly, the flash-lamp power supply can sometimes come back in a funny state that does not allow it to run. One of the error message related to this issue is "Error: Capture timeout of the noise data after 300000 ms -- verify trigger 0". This means the flash-lamp can not fire. Here are the instructions on resetting it. -It unfortunately involves taking the side of the rack off and opening up the faraday cage-. If you do this, you must not do anything to alter the alignment of the flash-lamp housing or the fiber going into it. The purity monitor signals are highly sensitive to fiber-lamp alignment. 

# Power unit off.

# Power unit on with run function off (don't run the DAQ program or have the electronics module on "Local"). You really don't need to worry about this step. 

# Set for frequency display.

# Set frequency down to 0.1 Hz.

# Set frequency up to 75 Hz.

# Set frequency to desired repetition rate, we use 2 Hz.

# Now set the energy level, we use 5,000 mJ.
